she's on martha's vineyard. the question that was asked about the aid given to see scri egypt is basically the only thing the u.s. has, for lack of a better term is the financial leverage of that money to see if they can reverse course. >>s it ate strongest piece of leverage that the united states has that $1.3 billion in military aid. you heard the reporter there shout the question, will you withhold aid? he didn't take the bait. he didn't answer the question. also, absent from the president's remarks, whether or not he views what happened in egypt as a coup. he acknowledged it was a military takeover of a democratically elected government but he won't go so far as to define this as a coup for legal reasons. if he does, if the administration weighs in on that question and determines ifth was in fact a coup, under the law the u.s. would almost certainly have to withhold that $1.3 billion in aid. the united states sort of still holding that dangling that out in front of the interim government. i think, hoping tha

the president, of course, on martha's vineyard, has not responded to that. it will be interesting to see how he squares that response from the white house a week prior to the nsa revelations. >> he's going to update those comments because "the washington post," if you read it carefully, informed dianne feinstein that the rules were not going to follow and you've been saying up until now, this is going to be an issue that we keep talking about. i said still marching for the marches going on this week but the march is formally called the march for jobs and freedom. i think you should hear more talk about that, the problem with the racial justice in the country but with jobs in the country. black unemployment is still double what white unemployment is. the wealth gap continues to grow and i think you'll hear more from the president and also the people at the marches talking about it as well as voting rights and traditional civil rights issues. >> 1953 we saw a quarter of a million people down there in d.c. is there any idea how large the crowd is going to be th

we go live to martha's vineyard where president obama continues his vacation. any sign from the administration of what they will or even perhaps what they will not do next? >> well, craig, good afternoon. the administration at this point is not signaling any major shift in policy when it comes to egypt. we know that president obama has been briefed daily by his national security adviser susan rice, who is vacationing here on martha's vineyard with him. and of course this past week president obama announced that he would be canceling joint military operations between the u.s. and egypt that were scheduled to take place next month. this was a strong, symbolic rebuke to military for their inability to really get this situation under control in egypt and to get the unrest under control in egypt. but what the administration has not announced is that they will be withholding or withdrawing that $1.3 billion in military aid that they give to egypt every year, and that is really the united states' largest point of leverage at this point in time. it is a complicated sit
